The Anemometer Challenge

September

During the month of September, the fourth grade students were challenged to design and build a working anemometer that could be used to identify the best location at B.E.S. to build a future wind turbine.

Their anemometers were tested at several different "wind" speeds generated by a fan in the classroom. It proved to be a very difficult task to create an anemometer that was remained intact and worked properly throughout all of the tests; so you can just imagine the cheers and smiles that ensued when groups of engineers to were able to accomplish this task.
